We love codependent besties, yes we do!

Our favorite little nudist finally gets his own book, and it's best friends to lovers?! Needless to say I loved this and Madden so much. Both he and Penn have been a bit of a mystery in this series, and I think not knowing what to expect from these two really made me enjoy their story so much more. 

Plus it's always wonderful seeing all the Bertha boys pop up throughout the book to support Madden as he traverses his feelings for Penn. I love this series and these boys so much, and cannot wait for Xander's story!

Mitch's life has pretty much imploded. His father isn't really his father, the hateful jerk sold their family's company without telling him, and his siblings have cut him out of their lives because of how much of a douchebag he is. He has nothing and no one. Rock meet bottom.

Enter Gideon, his new boss, who takes no crap from him. He's just what Mitch needs though, even if he doesn't realize it at the time.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure if Mitch was ever going to be a redeemable character, or if he even deserved to be. In previous books he was absolutely abhorrent, just so cruel and full of hate, but I'm glad to say I was wrong. 

His story was a rough one, and put me through the freaking wringer, but I am so happy with how Cora ended this for Mitch and Gideon, along with his family. 

Let’s be honest, this series is way too drawn out, but I’ll always keep coming back for more because I love the Collective so 🤷🏻‍♀️

On his eighteenth birthday, Ethan planned to make a deal with Wick, a crossroads demon he had befriended as a child. Only when it comes time to do it, his grandmother intervenes, steals his memories, and essentially holds him hostage. 

Meanwhile poor Wick, who I was curious about since meeting him in Van and Gabe’s story, has been unwilling to move on, drinking himself stupid and pining after Ethan for the last six years.

When the pair eventually reconnect, Ethan realizes how much his grandmother has intervened in his life, and he and Wick begin doing everything they can to get back to one another permanently. 

Wick and Ethan’s story was a bit more angsty than the previous stories involving the supes of Hex, Indiana, but still ended very sweetly. I do feel like the ending was a bit rushed, and they Ethan’s grandma got off too easily after everything she’d done, but overall really enjoyed their story. 

Gabe, a very sweet but lonely nephilim, has made his home in the supernatural town of Hex, Indiana. When not bartending, he can be found talking and tending to his plant babies, or visiting The Magic Shop, a place that no one else seems to know about but him. 

Van, a crossroads demon with a gnarly temper, is always one to act now and think later. Which is how he ends up banished to Hex with no powers and a clock ticking over his head counting down to his demise unless he changes his ways. 

The pair meet when Van gets literally thrown out of Hell and directly into Gabe’s path. With none of the other demons able to help him, Van can only rely on the sweet angelic man that is Gabe. 

The chemistry between Van and Gabe is instantaneous, and while I would have liked it to be a bit slower of a connection, their story was pretty cute and definitely steamy! I loved how well these two balanced each other out, and that Gabe brought out such a sweet side to Van that no one else got to see. 

Vexing the Viper was another great addition to the Creepin U series. Niko and King's story was super cute, very low angst, and I am forever loving all these monster puns lol

After several losses and no pack in sight, Kat turns to a fertility clinic to help her have the baby she's always wanted. Only there's a teeny tiny mix-up that turns her plans of single motherhood upside down.

Breeding Clinic may be my first read by Alexis B. Osborne, but definitely not my last! Kat and her packs story was addictive, fast paced, deliciously smutty, but also super adorable. I seriously loved this so much!

Back in town to clean out her late grandmother’s house, the last person Cassie expects to see is Seth Brubaker, her former best friend turned tormentor, whose arrival completely turns her life and everything she thought she knew upside down. 

Honestly How to Help a Hungry Werewolf was such a fun and quirky, but oh so steamy listen! Cassie and Seth’s dynamic and the shenanigans they got up to had my cackling, and then blushing and fanning myself when things got steamy. 

This was just too cute and I cannot thank @netgalley and @macmillan.audio for the ALC! This was a perfect, cozy listen for spooky season.
